Increase of Trade.

GlObe-LAemOcTat-
Gratifying evidences of the increase
in the volume of general trade through
out the country still abound. The
volume of weekly bond clearances is
largely in excess of that of last year
in the corresponding periods. Com
parison of railroad earnings also shows
important gains. The aggregate
earnings of sixty roads whose reports
are made public for the second week
of February show an increase of 7.5
per cent over the same week in 1856.
For the third week in February the
reports of twenty-one roads have been
published, and these reveal an ex-
pansion, by the same comparison, of
S.3 per cent. The railroads in each
instance are some of the leading lines
in different parts of the country, thus
indicating, if any further evidence Of
the fact were needed, that the trade
revival is experienced in each of the
thirty-eight states.

The editorial convention. advertised
for jefferson City, June 9Th. might as
well be Indefinitely postponed. A
free pass, a free lunch with a free ride
on the ferry to Cedar City, might
have secured goodly attendance.
But the foundation has b ell ruth
lessly cut out, the interstate ak has
been laid at the root of the tree, and
the superstructure must necessarily
fall Of Its own weight. Men and
brethren, there are some things which
may be borne, want of wood which a
delinquent subscriber should have
brought in, or want Of something 10
eat at home, but tn buy ticket to a
free lunch at Jefferson City is the
ancient straw which dislocates the

An Exciting Year.

This has been an exciting year for
State Legislatures. In New Jersey
members punched each others noses
in rows over the Senatorial contest ;
in Minnesota the Legislators became
panic stricken on account of a shaky
roof, and stepped on each other in a
wild rush for the open air of heaven,
while in Kansas the doorkeeper,
Boston Corbett, the slayer of Wilkes
Booth, went crazy and secured two
pistols and made the entire Assembly
Jump out of the windows and climb

James Hanley, who delivers meat
for &. Hilderbrandt, was riding north
on Ohio street at full speed yesterday
morning, not slowing up for crossings
nor foot passengers, and as he turned
west at the corner of Second and
Ohio streets, the horse slipped and
fell throwing the boy ON his face.
When he got up his nose was bleed
ing freely. He was taken to his
home and it was discovered that he
was more frightened than hurt.
1t is nothing unusal for the deliv-
cry boys who ride horse back to keep
the horse going at full speed, paying
no attention to anything and it is
wonder some of them have not been
seriously injured. 1t would be well
for the police to watch these boys
and arrest one or two for an exam
pie.

Skirmishing Oh the OutpOsts.

Springhe Id Republican.
Col. :. H. Boyd met Capt. n. Nj.
Julian in Halls drug store this morn
ing and opened a conversation with
him regarding the work of Major Cole
The colonel said, Captain, Cole is
doing a noble work for cur city and
you ought to go and hear him. "
Yes" said the captain, something
like Reverend MarshaiPs work. " "NO,
no, replied the captain. "I'll give
you five dollars cash if you'll go three
times and listen to Cole" said Boyd.
: All right, III do it." said Captain
Julian. Colonel Boyd handed ten
dollar bill to Captain Julian, who re-
turned the five dollars change and put
the ten in his pocket and remarked,
81 will go; but you understand am
to attend the day meetings"
We would suggest that some one
ought to induce the colonel to attend
also with the captain, and if Major
Cole succeeds in winning these men
over to the Lords side he will have
accomplished great work.

TOSt-blSPdtch
In both houses of Congress, and
from members OF both parties, We
have recently heard much disparage-
ment of the diplomates who have been
sent to represent us abroad. The
opinion that they are generally neither
ornamental nor useful seems to 60
without contradiction. But We are
pleased to notice that no one has a
word to say against the Poet of the
Wakaada who represents US at the
Court of the great King of Siam.
When on government wants other
diplOmates who can Out-shine all the
splendors of the Orient, it can find a
hundred more of the same sort in the
newspaper offices of rural Missouri.
